Potato Pizza Casserole

So the search for this recipe came from my co-workers.  A couple of the girls (who are also roommates) were coming to work with leftovers of what they called 'Potato Pizza Casserole' and boy did it look tasty!!!  I have made this a couple times now and I'm still trying to get the timing right so that all the potatoes are cooked through but I do have one more left in the freezer to try!  Basically all it is is potatoes, meat, tomato sauce seasoned, pepperoni and cheese.  It's so yummy, my husband isn't 100% convinced yet, but he is a little crazy :)

I found the recipe on no other than the Allrecipes website.

Potato Pizza Casserole

• 1 pound ground beef
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 5 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
• 1 (3 ounce) package chopped pepperoni
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed fiesta cheese soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook the ground beef and in a large skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain off grease. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Spread the sliced potatoes in a layer on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the ground beef over the potatoes. Place slices of pepperoni over the ground beef. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato soup, fiesta cheese soup, and milk. Season with oregano and Italian seasoning. Mix well, and cook until heated through. Pour over the contents of the baking dish.
3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the aluminum foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly

Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cake

Yeah that's right I made a cake with peanut butter and chocolate chips...amazing right?!!?  Where did I find this you ask?? Where else, Pinterest.  Here's a link to the recipe online.

So this was relatively easy.  Cake from scratch has all the basic ingredients.  I followed everything to a T except for the baking time.  I'm not quite sure if it's my oven or what but mine took about 20 more minutes to bake than the recipe stated so just keep checking it if it's not set up in the middle.  I actually made two of these cakes and both took longer.

But here it is, the recipe and my picture.  The cake is ridiculously moist and just melts in your mouth.  Have a big glass of milk next to you and you are set.  The cookie like crumble on top gets a little crunchy and wow it's just perfect.  This will be a go to cake recipe for me from now on!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake

 

2 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups light brown sugar 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 eggs 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 9″x 13″ baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, combine flour, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter. Remove 1 cup of mixture and set aside. Mix in baking powder and baking soda. Mix in milk and vanilla. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle top with reserved flour mixture and chocolate chips. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cheesy Chicken Rollups

Well first of all HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mama, grandmamas and stepmamas out there!

I made this dinner a few nights ago but am only getting around to posting it right now.  I have a sick baby this week but he's finally doing better!  This is one of our favorite meals and we devour it, there's usually no leftovers! hahaha Who am I kidding, there's never any leftovers!!  Plus it's seriously so easy it's ridiculous!!

I got it originally from the Once A Month Mom website where I get a handful of my recipes.  I absolutely love it.  So go check out their hundreds of yummy recipes, she mostly does freezer cooking but of course a lot of the recipes are so good that I'll just make them for dinner. 

So here's the recipe, try it out, substitue the cheese or try different kinds of breading, mix it up!  I make it just like the recpie says and it's so absolutely amazing!

Cheesy Chicken Rollups

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups Lawry’s Seasoned Salt Marinade
• 8 ounces Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
• 0.5 cups ground french fried onion rings

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise, basically fillet the breast so that you have to long flat pieces.** Marinate chicken breasts in Lawry’s Seasoned Salt Marinade for 30-90 minutes in a gallon sized zippered bag. Remove chicken and add shredded cheese. Roll chicken and secure with toothpicks. Place bread crumbs and ground french fried onion rings in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken back in the marinade, then place in the crumbs, coating the chicken evenly. Place the chicken on prepared pan and bake at 400 degrees for about 35 – 40 minutes or until done.
**If you are limited on time you can simply cut a pocket in the chicken breasts and insert cheese instead of rolling.

Here's my finished product:
